Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Organic Light Emitting Diode, it comprises:
Substrate;
With the bottom electrode of first kind of substrate same side and with the top electrode of second kind of substrate opposite side, described type of electrodes is corresponding to anode and negative electrode;
Organic emission electroluminescence layer, it places between bottom electrode and the top electrode;
And at least one doped organic layer that contacts with one of described electrode, this is placed between this electrode and the described electroluminescence layer, if and the described electrode that is in contact with it is a negative electrode, then be doped with donor dopant, if and/or the described electrode that is in contact with it is anode, then be doped with acceptor dopants.
The invention still further relates to the illumination panel or the image display panel of the array that comprises these diodes that belong to same substrate.
Background technology
Such as document EP 0498979 (Toshiba) instruction (seeing the 2nd page), such doped organic layer allows iunjected charge and electric charge is transmitted between the electrode that is in contact with it, and compares when allowing electroluminescence layer and using unadulterated organic implanted layer with unadulterated organic transport layer and have much lower resistance.Therefore, be used for this type of diode supply voltage significantly descend, and its luminous efficiency improves.
Replace the electric charge of prior art to inject and transport layer, adopt doped organic layer to be used for injecting and transmission charge (electronics or hole) is aspect two in the advantage of electroluminescence emission layer, promptly below both:
The decline of electric charge injection barrier and
The minimizing of electric charge injection and transport layer ohmic loss is because these layers have high conductivity owing to mixing.
Therefore, these two known advantages depend on to mix and are used to inject organic layer with transmission charge.Yet, be difficult to find the material doped level that can optimize required injection attribute and required transmission property simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
One object of the present invention is to provide a kind of device of optimizing these two advantages.
For this reason, theme of the present invention is an Organic Light Emitting Diode, comprising:
Substrate;
With the bottom electrode of first kind of this substrate same side and with the top electrode of second kind of this substrate opposite side, this type of electrodes is corresponding to anode and negative electrode;
Organic emission electroluminescence layer places between this bottom electrode and this top electrode;
And at least one doped organic layer that contacts with one of described electrode, this is placed between this electrode and the described electroluminescence layer, if and the described electrode that is in contact with it is a negative electrode, then be doped with donor dopant, if and/or the described electrode that is in contact with it is an anode, then be doped with acceptor dopants
In this diode, the doped level of at least one doped organic layer between this organic layer and this layer electrodes in contact at the interface than core at this doped organic layer in high.
More precisely, the layer that contacts with one of described electrode is the organic material that is doped with donor dopant when described contact electrode is negative electrode, and/or is the organic material that is doped with acceptor dopants when described contact electrode is anode.Term " donor dopant (donor dopant) " or " n dopant " are understood to mean a kind of dopant, it can increase near the electron energy level density of lumo energy of this material, and term " acceptor dopants (acceptor dopant) " or " p dopant " are understood to mean a kind of dopant, and it can increase near the density of the hole energy level the HOMO energy level of this material.Because this doping, therefore exist electric charge between " main (host) " organic material and the dopant to shift-transfer and the transfer of electronics under the situation that this main material p mixes of electronics in from the dopant to the main material under the situation that this main material n mixes from main material to this dopant.For this charge transfer energy is enough produced, the potential barrier that is used for this transfer must be restricted.Therefore, if with the doped layer electrodes in contact be negative electrode, then preferably on the one hand the HOMO energy levels of donor dopant or ionization potential and on the other hand the absolute value of the difference between the lumo energy energy of the organic material of doped layer less than 5eV, if and/or with the doped layer electrodes in contact be anode, then preferably on the one hand the lumo energy energy of acceptor dopants or electron affinity and on the other hand the absolute value of the difference between the HOMO energy levels of the organic material of doped layer less than 5eV.Usually, the energy of HOMO or lumo energy be can be regarded as with respect to the vacuum level of electronics here for just.In order to ensure between this moment doped layer and the electrode that is in contact with it better electric charge shift, if with the doped layer electrodes in contact be negative electrode, also expect the HOMO energy levels of donor dopant or the lumo energy energy of the organic material that ionization potential is higher than doped layer, if and/or with the doped layer electrodes in contact be anode, then also expect the HOMO energy levels of the lumo energy energy or the organic material that electron affinity is equal to or less than doped layer of acceptor dopants.
Therefore, definition according to dopant of the present invention does not cover the content of being given in the document EP 1347518, in document EP 1347518, doping comprises inorganic semiconductor compound " scattering (dispersion) " in organic substrate, so this dispersion characteristic has the purpose (seeing the 6th page of the 12nd row of the document) that increases the contact area between organic material and the inorganic compound.
The material that can not cause in addition, the resilient coating of description in document US 2003/143428 according to the definition of dopant of the present invention.According to the document, this material forms (seeing § 23) by being mixed with organic compounds and alkali or alkaline earth metal compound, and this mixture has its two kinds of compound concentrations gradients.The direct contact electrode of described resilient coating is negative electrode here, and therefore only considers n type doping (donor dopant).Resilient coating can directly contact emission electroluminescence layer (emissive electroluminescent layer) (seeing § 42), but in implication of the present invention n doped layer anything but here.This be because, even the alkali of the mixture of this layer or alkaline earth metal compound are usually as n dopant (alms giver), other compositions (organic compound) of mixture can not be mixed by n in implication of the present invention, particularly mentioned relevant " T_Starburst (starburst) " type organic compound in the document.This is because the HOMO energy level of the n dopant of Kao Lving is too far away apart with the lumo energy of these organic compounds that constitute this mixture here, promptly greater than 0.5eV, if especially they are T_Starburst compounds.Such compound comprises amine function group, and it provides lone electron pair, and this will become the obstacle that the effective n in the implication of the present invention mixes.This also be why except the document these T_Starburst compounds usually as hole conductor and not as the reason of electronic conductor.
Generally speaking, the present invention depends on aforementioned principles especially, thus the doped level of the dopant of at least one doped organic layer this organic layer and and this layer electrodes in contact between at the interface than core at this doped organic layer in high.
Since with compare in the core of this doped organic layer with the different at the interface doped level of this electrode, both can reduce the potential barrier thickness at the interface, can increase the resistance in the material core again because doped level is low.This makes can optimize electric charge injection attribute and the charge transport properties of this doped layer to electronics or hole.Preferably, in the described potential barrier that exists at the interface greater than 0.2eV.
At room temperature, therefore this interface forms Schottky (Schottky) knot.If the described electrode at this interface is a negative electrode, if be to have work function E at the material of this electrode at the interface

C1Has bending (curvature) at this near interface.The potential barrier thickness corresponding with this crooked degree is for counting about nanometer.When electrical potential difference is applied to diode when luminous along conducting direction, electronics by tunnel effect through this potential barrier.
More generally, for the ENERGY E of doping organic material O1, the ENERGY E 1 that can also define Fermi level and HOMO (the highest occupied molecular orbit (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital)) energy level

V2Has bending at this near interface.The thickness of this potential barrier corresponding with this crooked degree is for counting about nanometer.When electrical potential difference is applied to diode when luminous along conducting direction (conducting direction), this potential barrier is passed by tunnel effect in the hole.
More generally, for doping organic material O2, can also define the ENERGY E 2 of Fermi level and the ENERGY E of lumo energy

Preferably, the average conductivity of the material of described doped organic layer be arranged in this at the interface and the thick sheet (slice) of the 10nm of this layer that contacts with described electrode be to be arranged in apart from described electrode to surpass at least three times high of thick sheet of the 10nm at least of core of this doped organic layer of 20nm.
The conductivity of this doped organic layer can be measured by the similar method of method that obtains this doped organic layer with being used to of describing later, and measures the resistance variations of this layer between two measurement electrode during particularly by this layer of etching and measures: will be the 1/3 low of close and the resistance variations that contacts this diode electrode place etching 10nm apart from the electrode of diode above the resistance variations of etching 10nm in the core of 20nm.

Therefore, if have in the sheet between the core of the interface of the electrode that is being in contact with it of this layer and this layer opposite dopant concentration gradient in the opposite sheet with this layer according to the material of the doped organic layer of diode of the present invention, described opposite sheet is between the border opposite with this electrode of its nuclear and this layer, thereby then the concentration of identical dopant can be very low or even be that zero a slice that for example stays this layer is used for electric charge and stops.Yet, inject and the advantage of the low ohmic losses that transport layer provides according to the electric charge that mixes in the diode of the present invention in order to keep above-mentioned, if preferably the concentration of dopant in the material of this organic layer of boundary of this layer opposite with this organic layer electrodes in contact is zero or almost nil, then concentration is zero or the strict thickness that keeps less than the sheet with non-zero concentration of dopant of thickness of almost nil part in this layer.Sheet with non-zero-dose comprises the zone with dopant concentration gradient again.Layer with zero concentration of dopant obviously has low conductivity.By limiting its thickness, ohmic loss also can be limited.Yet, should be noted that, in document US 2003/111666, the electric charge injection of described diode and at least one of transport layer comprise doping sheet and the non-doping sheet that contacts with electrode, if directly with electroluminescence layer (among Fig. 9 A and the 9B Reference numeral be 915 with 932 sheet) contact, himself contacts with barrier layer (Fig. 2 B, 4B, 5,6B, 7,9A and 9B) usually.Under any circumstance, in the document, strictly greater than the thickness of doping sheet (for the sheet among Fig. 9 A and the 9B 916 and 931 30nm at the most, otherwise 5nm), opposite with the present invention, it does not allow to keep low ohmic losses to the thickness of the sheet that do not mix (being generally 40nm).
